Rise and shine - its groundhog day



We are now discussing if we can put out a good side to keep near the top of League 1.







Who would have thought that we would plummet from SL so fast.



When we hit the bottom of the barrel please can someone wake me up so that I can enjoy the rise to the top again

Well we're supposed to have dyed in the wool rugby league men running the show now, so I'm neither worried about shedding some of the current players, who frankly won't be good enough as long as they have holes in their heads and the right recruits for next year.



Time for Mr. Lowe to tear himself away from his old boys lunches, and get on a plane to assess some proper players.



That is the least of my expectations as a fan.

Every time we hit the bottom of the barrel we break through it and find another barrel underneath. It's a bit like the china syndrome.

Yes, I'd welcome a bit of a mini clear out and re-build around what is left of some of our youngsters or players who genuinely have the stomach for the fight. Still carrying too many passengers who talk a good game in the press but ultimately come up short when it gets a bit tasty or come up against enthusiastic part time players.



It's also surely about time we heard on arguably the most important appointment... who is going to be coaching this bunch? Toovey has been very coy about his plans for the long term. It's perhaps up for debate as to whether he's the right man for that division anyway, can't say we've seen much benefit of his NRL experience this year. Wonder if John Kear could be tempted away from Wakefield?

The problem I see is all good league one players will be signed up by now! So how are we going to compete

Who knows, but I guess that can be the excuse for next years failings too. Given the lack of information we continue to be given I'm pretty much decided that I'll be looking at doing something else to fill my Sunday's next year other than perhaps the odd match if I can be bothered.

Not only are we good at missing the boat, our best junior hopes for the future float away too.

Can you explain "lower teams"?

Possibly referring to the lower teams in league 1 such as Hemel, Coventry, South Wales etc.

They're not only lower than us on the table but lower than us geographically speaking too

I believe you mean [i"Could be like our relegation into the championship where we quickly found our true level...."[/i

No. He means what he wrote. HTH.
